Escape to an unforgettable mahjong retreat at The Harpeth, a charming boutique hotel nestled in the heart of historic Franklin, Tennessee—just 30 minutes from the vibrant energy of Downtown Nashville.
Immerse yourself in days filled with laughter, strategy, and relaxation as you enjoy ample time to play mahjong in a setting that’s as beautiful as it is serene. Between games, savor exceptional dining, unwind in luxurious accommodations, and soak in the Southern charm that makes Franklin so special.
Whether you come on your own or with your mahjong friends, you’ll enjoy the perfect balance of camaraderie and competition—with opportunities for social play and tournament play throughout your stay.
We’re sisters Carole Tufeld and Patty Dickman—two lifelong travelers who share a deep love for Mahjong! Our passion for the game began with our mom, Roz a lifelong Mahjong player who taught us both. Every time we sit down to play, we think of her, and launching Tile Travelers Mahjong Retreats feels like a heartfelt tribute to her memory.
As travel agents, we’ve spent years planning trips for family and friends. Now, through Tile Travelers, we’re thrilled to combine our love of travel with the wonderful and ever-growing Mahjong community.
Though we don’t always get to play together—Carole lives in Los Angeles, while Patty moved to Nashville five years ago—we’ve each found amazing groups of friends through the game, and it continues to bring us joy and connection.
We hope you’ll join us for our inaugural Mahjong Retreat, with more exciting events to be announced in the coming months!
